Perlick 525ss Or 575ss?

[CDJ]

Hi there,

Try to find any comments on the Perlick 575ss taps with not much success. I'm about to get some from the ebay seller but not sure if I should go for the 525ss or the 575ss. I've seen that most have got the 525ss from a bulk buy but can anyone comment on the 575ss?? Is it worthy, or half closing the 525 tap will do the job?

Any comments appreciated.

Cheers
CDJ

I have the 425ss' which are very good. The only posts I've read about the 575's were pretty negative.

+1 for the 525ss I have 4 and couldn't be happier. Not a thing wrong with them, they look great and pour well. I did my research too and found that the general consensus is that the 575ss can have problems with dripping/leaking because of the creamer function. If I want the same wleffecg I just open up the tap a touch and let it froth. Essentially the same action as the creamer.
IMHO go the 525ss... You won't be dissapointed

Will ask a quote for the 525ss.

Thanks

Hey guys, I know this thread is pretty old, but I'm about to buy a couple of these (Perlick 525ss)from the US.

I'm wanting to minimise postage, so just getting the taps - no accessories if I can get them locally.

Do you know if these will fit the standard Keg King type font? Will I need any adapters or other parts?

Also, how does the beer line connect? Is it just a barb or do I need special parts? If I need barbs, does anyone know where I can get stainless ones? KK only sells chromed ones.

Any advice greatly appreciated - so far I'm just trying to work it out from the photos.

Cheers!

Mike

Doubt they will be cheaper than the $29 Perlick have them for at the moment.
